Approaches to More Efficient Vineyard Management

open access: yesHortScience, 1985
Abstract Grapevines are not free standing and therefore must be provided with a support system to produce an economically commercial crop. Grapes traditionally have been trained and modified to provide a support system for production, but these systems have not necessarily been well-suited to mechanization. Currently, there is a major

Glocal Regenerative Viticulture: Exploring Sustainable Winemaking Strategies in Europe

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global wine industry is transforming due to climate change challenges. Glocalization is increasingly relevant in winemaking, where geographical and cultural diversity requires context‐specific solutions in the existing sustainability spectrum in viticulture.

Management Intensity and Topography Determined Plant Diversity in Vineyards

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Vineyards are amongst the most intensive forms of agriculture often resulting in simplified landscapes where semi-natural vegetation is restricted to small scattered patches. However, a tendency toward a more sustainable management is stimulating research on biodiversity in these poorly investigated agro-ecosystems.

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Assessment of the Heat-Stress-Mitigating Effect of Kaolin in Grapevine: A Comparative Study in Two Vineyards

open access: yesHorticulturae
Climate change is intensifying summer stress conditions, with significant impacts on vine physiology and grape production. Kaolin is commonly used to mitigate heat stress, though its effectiveness may vary depending on vineyard conditions.

Vigour mapping and vineyard management

open access: yes, 2017
Background and Aims Precision viticulture encompasses a series of techniques from remote to proximal sensing for describing and exploiting within-vineyard variability. Our aim was to assess how vigour mapping associated with detailed ground-truthing can provide guidelines for more sustainable vineyard management.

Same Practices, Different Outcomes: Gender Gaps in Organic Certification

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines gender differences in organic certification among Hungarian wineries and asks whether they reflect observable differences in sustainability engagement, organizational capabilities, and structural characteristics, or differences in how similar profiles translate into certified status.

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active
